            MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

            SUBJECT: Schweiker Report Review


                  1. Yesterday afternoon I met with Bob Wall (CI Staff),
            Bill Sturbitts (LA Division), and Jerry Brown (Office of Security).
            The purpose of the meeting was to get an idea of the work involved
            to review the issues raised in the Schweiker report and to review
            what the Agency did in relation to the Warren Commission.

                  2. I reported that Mr. Knoche did not wish us to seek
            access to the Warren Commission  proceedings at this phase of
            our review.

                  3. Bill Sturbitts said that         now with CI Staff,
            is very familiar with the LA Division iles on much of this subject,
            particularly Mexico. Speaking on the provocation/retaliation
            aspect of this, he observed that the Miami Ops and CI files ran
            some  5, 000 to 10, 000 linear feet. There was agreement that this
            posed a massive research problem  on just the question of provocation.
            It was noted that we were discussing provocation in its broadest
            sense, in terms of the government policy and Agency program;
            we probably know the details of the so-called assassination plots
            and the files in question would be unlikely to turn up anything new
            in this respect. Sturbitts noted that a detailed paper had been
            prepared commenting  on the information in the book given by
            Castro  to Senator McGovern.

                 4.  Bob Wall noted that he was Deputy Chief of PM in Miami
            for three years. He raised a question as to whether the broader
            program was  relevant to the issue of provocation, in the terms
            posed by the Schweiker report. Later in the discussioi he
            expressed the opinion that whatever we wrote on the subject might
            be a prejudiced interpretation. I expressed the view that the
            overall program established a context for what happened and that
